Description

This class on creating advanced PIC32 embedded applications using MPLAB® Harmony was taught at the Microchip MASTERS Conference in 2017. Some of the slides may not be easily understood because they are intended to be presented by an instructor. That said, you should still be able to learn a lot from it.

Class Abstract

MPLAB Harmony is a modular framework that provides interoperable firmware libraries for PIC32 application development. These libraries include drivers, system services and middleware.

In this class, you will learn how to control two PIC32 peripherals (SPI) using one Harmony Driver (multi-instance driver). You will also learn how easy it is to use Harmony to add an RTOS to a bare metal (non-RTOS) application.

For the hands-on exercises, you will use the Curiosity PIC32MZEF Development Board, and two MikroElektronika click boards:

The three labs build on each other. In Lab 1, you will read the temperature from the Weather click board and send the value to a terminal emulator over USB. In Lab 2, you will store the temperature value in the FRAM click board. In Lab 3, you will add an RTOS (FreeRTOS) to the project.

Training Slides, Lab Manual, Source Files and Solutions

This project has been verified to work with the following versions of software tools:
MPLAB® X IDE v3.61, MPLAB XC32 Compiler v1.43, MPLAB Harmony v2.03b, MPLAB Harmony Configurator Plugin v2.0.3.5

Because we regularly update our tools, occasionally you may discover an issue while using newer versions. If you suspect that to be the case, we recommend that you double check using the same versions that the project was tested with.

Archived versions of our tools can be found on the following Microchip websites:MPLAB Harmony (see "Archived Downloads" tab)MPLAB X IDE and XC32 Compiler (see "Downloads Archive" tab)
Note that multiple versions of all these tools can co-exist on the same computer.
